It's mostly confined to crunchy systems. I'm honestly surprised that you haven't encountered it -- maybe you don't play crunchy games outside your friend group? Or maybe you are imagining a very extreme form only?It may come down to what you mean by "regularly" -- if it's every combat, multiple times, then yeah, sure, that would be overly irritating, but it usually goes something like this, a couple of times in a session.GM: A, it's your turnA: I move my conjuration to give flanking and roll a 18! That hits and since I have flanking I do an extra 2d6 + 3d8 for 54 damageB: Actually conjurations don't give flanking, so it'll only be 25 damageIt's a variation of the already noted overlap between "bad" optimizers and rules lawyers -- they are quick to point out rules that make other players less awesome.</blockquote>
